Major Additions - Links and Downloads Manager

Version 2.2.8 remains available here, with limited support.

French translation of product installer uploaded (other language translations are in the main release zip)

Remember to back up your current database tables before upgrading.

What this is and does

LDM is a general-purpose link and file manager, which handles user uploads and downloads in a flexible way. A range of media players is integrated into LDM and others are included as plugin extras. LDM is described below in the first post of this thread, which also contains a brief list of the currently-known bugs.

This release of LDM works correctly with all VB versions 3.6.x and recent versions of vbadvanced.

Documentation, screen shots, etc, are provided as a Wiki at http://www.eirma.org/wikis/index.php...nloads_Manager

Thank you to everyone who has tested, given suggestions, helped with the translations, etc.

Using now 2.2.8 post 2 I have detected that by using the action "jump" the download is not registered in vB's "Who's Online".
That's bad, because many sites are redirecting directly to action=jump instead of the linkid, so many users are not listed...

Is there a possibility to change the behaviour of LDM?

My only solution at the moment is to send a redirect within the hook download_complete

Noted, will check.

I wonder - have you been adding new usergroups? These by default have no LDM access. Furthermore, in the older versions of LDM, the code worked out permissions (I think) on the user's primary usergoup, not using all his/her groups.

If this is the problem, then go to LDM/admin/permissions and give the new usergroups can_access_link permission

Thanks. It was the permissions. Added a new group a few days ago.

I doubt that this is an LDM error. Your site is protected by the php setting "open_basedir" which stops the vbulletin scripts from uploading into the required temporary directory. You need to speak to your site admin.

I was wondering if there is way, where i can upload images, and once the user clicks to download or watch the original file, this one is diplayed inside a page that uses somekind of linkbit template to add some instructions on how to download or save the file.

I think I have had this on my mind for months... so I was wondering if i ever asked for help.

Thanks!

BTW, Andrew, maybe you could signup for a google adsense account and add some banners inside your wiki... that way i could click some cents to you from time to time.

no answer for me!

Hi Andrew, about the autocreatd posts from comments/rates. I hope when there is only rate but no comment given, then LDM will not creat a new post. Or you can make an option let people choose. Thanks in advance.

I'll add a new plugin in the next 2.2.8 upload which does this job.
